Say that the Battle of Watling Street was delayed, or Suetonius's forces were destroyed in some other battle fought on the Britons' terms. Nero decides to cut his losses and to pull out of the island altogether. What effect would this have on the future collapse of Rome? Would the Britons fall to infighting and get reconquered, or would they head off any future invasion attempt (by either the Romans or Germanic tribes) and play a direct role in furthering the end of Western Rome?
